Its only been a week since moving in and I absolutely love living here Meagan the property manager was so friendly and welcoming when I first applied and when I went to go pick up my keys The maintenance staff are also very friendly and really keep on top of clearing snow and salting pathwaysnThe layout of the apartment is nice and spacious and there is plenty of natural light from the windows I love all the closet space and really enjoy the convenience of inunit laundry When I moved in the walls were freshly painted new carpeting and everything was very clean A much better experience compared to a former apartment complex I had lived innIts very quiet in the neighborhood and I feel very safe living here I love that grocery shopping is just a quick trip down Shaver Road and that the South Westnedge Dog Park is a 7 minute drive US131 isnt too far away eithernThe kitchen appliances are a little dated and there is not a microwave but everything is very clean and in great condition so Im not bothered by the aestheticnCant wait to see how beautiful it looks here in the spring and summer more ... hide ...

I have lived in Greenspire Apartments for three months and will certainly not be renewing my lease Since moving in my girlfriend and I have experienced severe issues with insects in the apartment including crickets dropping out of the vents in the apartment yes dropping including out of the vents directly above the toilet We typically find and kill 35 crickets each day inside our apartment along with other insects spiders pill bugs and beetles Managementmaintenance have been extremely reluctant at best to help with this issue they punted to an outside pest control company and the pest control company punted back and told us it was a maintenance issue and that they are unable to alter the vent system to prevent the insects from entering Maintenance refuses to do anything further to address the issue as they insist the vents are a sealed system and that nothing can get in despite us personally witnessing crickets dropping from the vents and having photograph and video evidence to the contrary Horrible experience and both my girlfriend and I feel that we have been mistreated by Greenspire in addition to having to deal with a horrible insect infestation more ... hide ...
